Pedro Aznar

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1959.

Formed, in 1978, with Charly Garcia, David Lebon and Oscar Moro, the group Seru Giran, considered by audiences and critics alike to be a landmark in Argentine Rock music, which left a legacy of 10 albums, attendance records and an influence that transcends generations.

In 1983 he joined the Pat Metheny Group as multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. This line-up of the acclaimed group performed around the world and won three Grammy Awards for "First Circle" (1984),"Letter from Home" (1989) and "The Road to You" (1993).

Wrote the scores for the following films:
- "Hombre mirando al sudeste" (1987)("Man Facing Southeast")
- "Ultimas imagenes del naufragio" (1990)("Last Images of the Shipwreck")
- "El camino de los suenos" (1993)("The Path of Dreams")
- "No te mueras sin decirme adonde vas" (1995)("Don't Die Without Telling Me Where You're Going")
- "El mundo contra mi" (1996)("The World Against Me")

Works as producer, composer, arranger, instrumentalist and singer on recordings and on stage with some of the most prominent artists of Argentina and the world as Roger Waters, Shakira, Mercedes Sosa, Vicente Amigo and Caetano Veloso.

Gives lectures and clinics on recording, mixing and record production, as well as artistic creativity.

Wrote two poetry books: "Pruebas de fuego" (Trials by Fire)(1992) and "Dos pasajes a la noche" (Two Tickets To The Night)(2009), both published by Longseller.

Leads his own group since 1993, imbuing it with a unique and personal contemporary feel contributed, in equal measure, by his ample experience in styles such as Rock, Jazz, Argentine and Latin American roots music, his constant openness to new tendencies as well as his knowledge of old traditions.
